Happy Birthday
So, I’ve got one of the milestone Birthdays coming up this week, well tomorrow. One of those it’s time to take inventory of your life and measure yourself against what you thought you would be doing at this age. Well, I don’t have any of that this time. This is my first wow you’re hitting a milestone birthdays and even though my Mother and my Mother in law have asked me multiple times how I feel (as if it makes a damn difference) I don’t feel anything. I have not had enough time to even think about it. But now that I am taking time to think and type about it there is something that I am noticing.. I am noticing it in photos and think that I am just really tired and that my face will bounce back any day now. My eyelids used to have a large canvas to paint on this season’s favorite shimmer. It seems of late I have to create this illusion; the crease of the eye has a whole new meaning. I swear my brush could get lost in the abyss that used to be my eye lids. So I guess it’s becoming apparent that having a baby did a hell of job on my forehead! I still wake up and think that the lines in my forehead are going away as soon as I get a good night’s sleep. So what does a ticked off working mom who now has a road map on her face ask for her Birthday?? Botox? Nah, a baby sitter, a martini and that good night of sleep will do just fine.
To borrow a line from this Southern Girls favorite Southern movie:
Honey, time marches on and eventually you realize it is marchin' across your face.
Oh and Sonya, no comments needed. I know you can get me a deal on an eyelid lift. I’m just not ready to admit that I need one!
